Seriously, folks, wearing cowboy clothes in public is no more appropriate at any time than wearing sweatsuits, army fatigues, boy scout uniforms or scuba gear for fashion's sake. These clothings have a specific purpose and a specific place. In the case of cowboy clothes, these are 'boy'ing cows (and whoever came up with that term needs a serious talking to, by the way) and 100 years ago, respectively. Neither of these are done today in case you have remained unaware of the passage of time. "Well, I'm on my way to ride my horse and that's why I'm wearing these boots." Is this your reasoning? Is this the very best you can come up with? Then why for love's sake am I seeing you at the public library dressed that way? And in no way does that excuse account for your inordinately tight pants and that checkered shirt. And it most certainly does not account for the hat. We have come a long way in terms of head wear, people. We have gone from the oversize sombreros and 10 gallon hats of yesterYesterYESTER year (which, by the way, were only made that large in the first place because EVERYTHING starts out much bigger until people find a way to make them smaller. Take computers as an example) to the tiny sized ball caps of today worn by those I elect to refer to as "in the know." Please, if not for your sake then for mine and everyone else who is laughing at you behind your back, cease your relentless (and pointless) insistence on wearing that ridiculous outfit! And while you're at it, stop referring to your vehicles as outfits. We're talking about clothes here.

On inappropriate attire
